Product Launch

Pittsburgh – September 19, 2026 -- A patent-pending concrete-screeding machine designed to cut sidewalk-finishing crews from three workers to one has been submitted for licensing through InventHelp's national sales office.

Inventor targets labor reduction on concrete finishing crews

The inventor, based in Westford, N.Y., developed the Non-Vibrating Self-Propelled Sidewalk Screed Machine to automate the screeding step in concrete surfacing, a process traditionally requiring multiple hand laborers to maintain consistent finish quality.

Seattle and Austin, Texas – September 19, 2026 -- Zillow and Realtor.com have simultaneously launched Preview, a pre-market listing feature giving buyers on both platforms identical early access to homes before they hit the MLS, without requiring any brokerage relationship or special login.

The rollout, first announced as a collaboration in May, marks what the companies call the largest pre-market syndication effort in U.S. residential real estate. Listings are labeled as Preview on both sites and appear to buyers at the same time regardless of platform.

More than 400 brokerages have already enrolled in Zillow Preview

Zillow said over 400 brokerage partners are participating, including Keller Williams, RE/MAX, Leading Real Estate Companies of the World, HomeServices of America, Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices, United Real Estate, Engel & Völkers and Side, with listing volume continuing to grow.

Berwyn – September 19, 2026 -- Envestnet has recorded an 82% year-over-year increase in Wealth Data Platform (WDP) users and a 31% rise in firms using the platform as of August 1, 2026, alongside a 102% jump in WDP page views over the same period. The company unveiled its third technology release of 2026 (R3 2026), replacing static peer-average benchmarking with dynamic, contextual performance comparisons across its Adaptive WealthTech ecosystem.

Dynamic benchmarking replaces one-size-fits-all industry averages

The updated Wealth Data Platform now allows firms to compare performance by business segment, geography, and advisor behavior rather than against a single static benchmark. New dimensions include quartile, median, and risk-bucket performance views, plus benchmarking support extended across both U.S. and Canadian advisor populations. Home office leaders gain dedicated views into top- and bottom-performing advisor segments.

Milpitas, Calif. – September 19, 2026 -- Teledyne LeCroy has released the Summit Z74 Protocol Exerciser, the industry's first standalone test tool for PCIe 7.0 technology, targeting the accelerating validation needs of AI, high-performance computing, cloud, and advanced storage systems.

PCIe 7.0 doubles data rates to 128.0 GT/s, straining existing validation tools

The PCIe 7.0 specification doubles the raw data rate of PCIe 6.0 from 64.0 GT/s to 128.0 GT/s, delivering up to 512 GB/s of bi-directional bandwidth in a x16 configuration. At these speeds, PAM4 signaling and FLIT-based protocol architectures demand test equipment capable of generating precise protocol traffic and providing deterministic control over link behavior.

Pittsburgh – September 19, 2026 -- A Lakeland, Florida-based inventor has filed a patent-pending design for ONE FACE PRIVACY, a device intended to block unauthorized viewing of computers, phones, and televisions. The submission was processed through InventHelp's Tallahassee sales office.

Design targets visual privacy and cyber-predator exposure on consumer electronics

The invention is built to increase privacy and security while a user operates any electronic display, according to the inventor. It is designed for household use across age groups, including children and teens who use personal devices.

Product is now open for licensing or sale to device manufacturers

The patent-pending design is currently available for licensing or acquisition by manufacturers and marketers in the consumer electronics sector. InventHelp is handling inquiries for the submission under reference Dept. 25-TLS-1389.

New York – September 19, 2026 -- accessiBe has launched Code Agent, a tool that reviews GitHub pull requests against WCAG 2.2 AA standards and proposes inline fixes before code merges into production. The capability is live in beta for eligible accessFlow customers.

Code Agent flags the exact line causing an accessibility issue inside the pull request

The tool runs automatically when a pull request opens or updates, or can be triggered manually. It writes a suggested fix directly in the PR, similar to a teammate's review comment, while developers retain full control to accept, reject, or discuss the change in the thread. Nothing merges without developer review.

Moraga, Calif. – September 19, 2026 -- Atombeam's Neurpac data-compaction technology achieved a 75% reduction in LiDAR data volume during testing on SIMSY's private cellular network, a result that will now be offered to SIMSY's enterprise customers moving large real-time data sets.

Neurpac cuts LiDAR payloads by 75% in SIMSY network tests

SIMSY, which operates its own cellular core network for enterprise device deployments, confirmed the 75% compaction rate during trials of Neurpac, addressing a bandwidth constraint that had previously blocked efficient LiDAR transmission over cellular links. Alex Taylor, CEO and co-founder of SIMSY, said the uplink has historically been the bottleneck in cellular networks, offering far less capacity than downlink, which is exactly where large data types like LiDAR become stuck.

Guangzhou – September 19, 2026 -- DG Display Showcase is developing a new production base with a planned gross floor area exceeding 30,000 square meters to support larger and more complex international retail projects. The Guangzhou-based company, which specializes in customized display and retail space solutions, said the facility will integrate manufacturing, R&D, engineering and customer experience functions under one roof.

Founded in 1999, DG Display Showcase has completed more than 9,380 brand store projects worldwide and handles over 200 customized projects annually. Its team includes more than 180 engineering and craftsmanship professionals serving jewelry, watches, fragrance, luxury retail and museum display sectors.

Nashville, Tenn. – September 19, 2026 -- Finch Claims Inc. has launched what it calls the property insurance industry's first full-claim intelligence platform, designed to connect scattered claim records and surface costs insurers may have omitted from estimates.

Finch found nearly $6 million in repair costs missing from carrier estimates

Analyzing 315,000 documents across more than 15,000 property claims, Finch identified an average difference of nearly 50% between carrier estimates and those prepared by public adjusters, representing over $6 million in repair costs left out of insurer calculations. Among claims where insurers made no payment in the first six months, final settlements came in 43% higher on average than the insurer's initial estimate.

Pittsburgh – September 19, 2026 -- An independent inventor from McDonough, Georgia, has developed a wearable device called the AUXILIARY VEST, designed to replace the traditional mechanic's creeper used for repairs under vehicles and equipment.

Inventor targets discomfort of rolling under vehicles for repairs

The inventor said the goal was to create "a quick and easy way to roll under a vehicle or other item when making repairs" without the physical strain of positioning the body on a standard creeper. The device uses a low-profile design intended to improve mobility for users working beneath cars, trucks, equipment, or in tight spaces such as attics.
